Talaxian Defense Forcesedit this page

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

The Talaxian Defense Forces was the military force of the government of Talax.

Avoiding or refusing service in the Defense Forces during a time of war warranted a death sentence.

The Defense Forces took part in the Talaxian-Haakonian War of the late 2340s and early 2350s. They surrendered unconditionally in 2356 after the Haakonians deployed the metreon cascade, a weapon of mass destruction, upon Rinax. (VOY: "Jetrel")

The status of the Defense Forces after the war is not clear. Though Neelix stated that his people were 'conquered', a group of Talaxian fighters helped liberate Voyager from the Kazon in "Basics, Part II".
